You're in. Let's see it work.
Forward any school or family email to your address below — your first digest builds within minutes. That's really it to start.
Your SchoolBrief address
- Open any recent email from your school
- Tap Forward
- Paste your SchoolBrief address and send
Doing this later? No problem — everything on this page is in your welcome email, and this page lives at schoolbrief.ai/welcome whenever you need it.
When you're ready for more
Get SchoolBrief caught up
The more recent emails you forward, the richer your digest. Great candidates:
- Weekly newsletters from your child's teacher
- School or district newsletters
- Activity or club registrations (Ryzer, SignUpGenius, etc.)
- Event announcements — field trips, performances, spirit days
- Anything with dates, deadlines, or reminders
Auto-forwarding — school email arrives on its own
Set it up once and every school and activity email lands in SchoolBrief automatically — no manual forwarding again. Takes about 5 minutes.

What to expect this week
Your first week is real-time. Every batch of forwarded emails updates your dashboard within minutes. After that: your daily 5 AM morning brief, plus automatic updates whenever new emails come in.
A note on why forwarding, not a one-click connection
I built and tested a one-click "Connect Gmail" option — and decided not to include it. Forwarding keeps you in control of every email SchoolBrief ever sees: you decide what comes through, nothing more. Parent to parent, that's the standard I've set for SchoolBrief.
